Educação infantil e religiosidade

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to characterize the necessity of religiosity as part of the education at schools which offer the first stage of elementary education. We perceived, through bibliographic research, the importance of a work aiming the building of the individual s citizenship regarding not only the structuring of the developing being, but also the awakening of the human action to better live in society. In the field of education there is much to be shared, including the way each one perceives the divine existence in the everyday life, being at school, home, church or wherever one is or with whomsoever one has to cohabit. The information presented in this dissertation offers the children education professionals a reflection about their educational process with zero to six-year-old children. A child s religiosity is different from that of an adult. Thus, it is necessary to rethink the pedagogic practice wherever the elementary education is offered. This dissertation is divided into three chapters; the first one presents the grounds for the role of school in a child s life; the second one focuses on the importance of religiosity in the formation of the developing being and, the third one discusses the necessity of the family contribution, together with the school, to the religiosity formation of children as developing individuals.
